University of Chicago Language Center
The CLC is a hub of professional development and services for the hundreds of instructors and graduate students that teach the 50+ languages spread across various departments within the university. We also promote language study and increase the visibility of our language offerings, helping students navigate and go beyond the university’s language requirements.
Office of Language Assessment
Established in 2016, the OLA has centralized all language testing across the University of Chicago campus to ensure the highest quality of tests and testing procedures. Using research and practice from the fields of Applied Linguistics and Language Testing, we develop strategies to expand and integrate the University’s language testing and pedagogy programs.
English Language Institute
Through academic, professional, and intercultural programming, the ELI supports UChicago individuals for whom English is an additional language (EAL). Established in 2015, the ELI is housed in the CLC and partially funded by the Provost’s Office.
